A new platform for engineering chiral electron pathways offers potential fresh insights into a quantum phenomenon discovered by chemists—and exemplifies how the second quantum revolution is fostering ...

When you shine a flashlight into a glass of water, the beam bends. That simple observation, familiar since ancient times, ...

The measurement problem in quantum mechanics looks at how an experimental outcome changes, simply by observing it.

Theoretical physicists along with an experimental team have found evidence of a quantum spin liquid in a material known as pyrochlore cerium stannate. They achieved this by combining state-of-the-art ...

"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. Paradoxically, his theory of relativity has become an essential tool for ...

Researchers in Vienna have discovered something remarkable: crystals that don’t form in space, like diamonds or salt, but in ...

Collaboration between experts at National University of Singapore and University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney provides long-sought evidence of atomic nuclei displaying quantum behaviour. It has ...

Levitating and spinning diamonds might sound like science fiction, but they’re now part of a bold effort to study the foundations of the universe. In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers have ...

By extending a proof of a physically important behavior in one-dimensional quantum spin systems to higher dimensions, a RIKEN ...

While William Rowan Hamilton isn’t a household name like, say, Einstein or Hawking, he might have been. It turns out the ...
